i want to GAIN weight!!!!!!!!!?

Is it possible for a 15 year old to gain 20 pounds in 3 months? im 5'6 and weight 122 lbs.i want to gain 20 pounds over the summer. Can someone please list some foods that will help me gain alot of weight and some exercises that i could do so the weight doesnt go to my belly. please im a size 3 in jeans i want thicker legs. please dont tell me "eat cheetos and soda and be a couch potato"seriously please help me.

If you eat more protein and dairy, and also lift weights, you'll start gaining weight fairly quickly. Be healthy about it, so don't eat too much to fast. Stick with lots of meat and cheeses, and not just fatty foods. Also drink lots of water- water weight is healthy weight. And when it comes to excercising, doing stair-steps is a really good workout, but it gives you more strength than fat-burning.

Well it tough for me to answer this...cause i answer i want to LOSE weight!!!!! questions most of the time haha. But if you want to gain weight...there is a way I read it is kinda counterbalancing my way....but you have to be careful....you do not want to starve yourself...this is just a idea. I have never tried it so research it before you do.

But mainly you eat a big breakfast and a big dinner. Nothing imbetween. That way your metabolism will slow down. Your body will retain body fat in a way in which to maintain energy. Its bsically your bodies "survival" mode.

Now another way which would take longer but would be muhhcch more beneficial. Is to lift weights. It is completely possible to gain 20 pounds of muscle (which would look hotter than fat) in 3 months. Just get a workout regiment going and eat a good amount of protein.

eat a variety of different foods. Dont listen to poeple who say eat junk food. if you want to get bigger eat chicken. it will help you gain weight and eat melons if you want bigger breast. Now if you really want to get big work your legs and arms. run everyday for an hour even if you get tired keep going you will develop strong leg muscle, or if you dont want to do that ride a bike and work out your gludios maximus (the butt). for your arms do 25 push-ups everyday I know its hard at first but you will get used to it that was only your tricept (the back of your arm) if you want to work out the front of your arm bicept do 100 (15 pounds) curl-ups. you will gain weight trust me i was in boot camp. Also I was skinny before but now im buff and heavy.

Don't just eat a whole lot of junk because then you will have other problems besides being a total fatty. I hope you realize that by gaining weight, you won't have thicker legs, you'll have fat legs and a body full of FAT.

But if you insist...

Don't watch what you eat but please, put some sort of limit on it.
Eat fast and 3 full meals a day.
Although you need to work out to get thicker, other than that try not to move at all.

I really don't understand what you want much else.

Eat lots of protein. Lots of lean meat and healthy carbs. Steak, steak, steak, rice, beans, and potatoes. Don't skimp on the veggies tho. And hit the weights hard. It's not good to strain yourself, but heavier weights should help you to bulk up faster.

Try doing a pyramid chart work-out. Do as many reps as you can with the heaviest weight you feel comfortable lifting. Then drop the weight by 10lbs. or so and do as many more reps as you feel comfortable doing. Continue until you are down to the last 10lbs.

The combination of that kind of work out and diet should pack the weight on you as fast as it can safely be put on.

two words bebe

potato. salad.

others:

lots of soda
sandwiches with mayo
corned beef
cookies
caesar salad

there are many others high in sodium and carbs

by the way...you are perfect the way you are!!! why gain weight???

be careful, once you get used to eating these foods, it could be hard to change your diet after you have gained the weight

gymteen

eat healthy but eat more, its ok to have junk food but not too much, be active but don't be crazy active, thats all i can think of right now

helpful buddy

my advice to you is
eat a lot so your body will get used to eating a lot of food please whatever you do don't be a couch potato
you can get heart Attack from eating too much junk food in too much time
eat a lot of bagels with cream cheese
hot pockets
and a lot of sandwiches
but please please whatever you do don't eat junk food eat regular food but a lot of it

bellamandez

perhaps you can talk to your doc or a pharmacist about getting something which would allow to slow down your metabolic rate.
my cousin was in a similar situation and trust me there are no natural way for you to gain a lot of weight.

Drink protein shakes before you exercise. Hit the gyms to gain some muscle, after all, muscle weighs more than fat. For your legs, probably squats and running!

So eat healthy, and work out, to turn that into muscle. muscle weights more than fat

~Captain Jack~

You don't need to gain weight, hon. If you want some meat on them bones though, eat lots of protein and that will help you gain some muscle. Hope that helps!

Fortitude

Well if you want to gain weight in a healthy way, I would think the only way to do so would be to gain muscle in your legs. This would require a lot of weight lifting or core training (i.e. swimming, jogging, jump training). Eat lots of good carbs and protein (a 4:1 carb to protein ratio). When weight lifting, do a low amount of reps with a lot of rest in between each set. DO NOT eat unhealthy to gain weight, this is not good for your body and you will only end up regretting it.

Eat late at night, eat all the foods you love like a cake or bar of chocolate whenever you feel like it. Don't do any excercise to begin with. Have butter with a jacket potato for instance or have creamy sauces. If you like cheese that's a bonus. It's high in fat. Have 'good' fats like what is found in fish and nuts ie omega oils. You can actually gain pounds by going to the gym and putting on muscle mass by using weights as resistance. Ask an instructor about that. So that should set u off. I wish i was in your shoes! I'm trying to lose weight. Have some of mine will ya? Lol

What?? That's the most ridiculous thing Ive ever heard! Try to live healthy and be fit!!

There are special nutrition bars out there. They're used to gain weight weight for wrestlers. You can probably find them at any grocery store.

shavalavamaha

i saw a nutritionist for this...

u need to eat MORE CALORIES THEN U BURN TO GAIN WEIGHT...whether its healthy weight or not...EAT MORE OF THESE TYPES OF SNACKS/FOODS ...

-Lean meats
-complex carbs(oatmeal, brown rice, whole wheat bread/pasta, some cereals)
-peanut butter or other nuts
-"proto pure" protein bars....each has 300 calories and 32 g protein but are low fat(7-8g), ok carb(around 26), very low sugar(1g), very healthy and delicious...i like the chewy chocolate chip and chocolate deluxe..or the regular "pure" protein bars but they are smaller and only have around 180-200 calories and 20 grams of protein
-loose granola
-dried fruit(especially raisins)-instead of fresh fruit
-muesli
-potatoes and corn instead of greens
-drink BOOST PLUS and ensure plus(the chocolate is the best) they have 350-360 calories each and have alot of vitamins, healthy fats, and the carbs u need...look them up...there is a difference between the regular and the plus...
-milk/other dairy products
-beans/seeds

*these are all healthy food that can help u!

U HAVE 2 MAKE SURE U DONT BURN WHAT U EAT AND HAVE A HEALTHY SNACK BEFORE BED LIKE A PB&J SANDWICH AND A GLASS OF CHOCOLATE MILK or boost plus

By working out you gain muscle which weighs more than fat. You also bulk up with out the bulging of plain fat. Do cardio a few days a week and weight train the others. Change your eating habits also. Add more carbs. Soda and junk foods do add the weight faster. Try lunges and such for toning up the legs. There is no right answer. You just have to try it out and see what works for you. Here are a few web sites to get you started and good luck.
